 You won't see reference to install_stcdll in the make output but I do see
that it does install the libraries.

 Huh? What is /usr/local/lib just above?

 It doesn't, it calls make install and install target in Makefile depends
on install_stcdll. Nothing wrong with this.

 Well, why are you surprised that it installs in /usr/local then? If you
run configure --help you can clearly see that default prefix is /usr/local
(just as for just about any other Unix software package).

 I'm sorry but I have no idea what the problem is.
